95th Giro d’Italia: Riders to Watch

Tyler Farrar (Garmin-Barracuda)

8 / 11

America’s Tyler Farrar (pronounced “fair-uh”) heads to the Giro hoping to find his sprinting legs in time for the Tour de France and the Olympic Games in London. Farrar won two stages at the Giro in 2010, but withdrew from last year’s race after the horrific death of his friend Wouter Weylandt (Leopard-Trek) on Stage 3. Like Cavendish, Farrar will be at the forefront in the race’s flat stages.
